• The ELVeS Radial Fiber applies energy faster and more accurately
than any other fiber type in the endovenous market.
• The Radial ® (360°) energy emission ensures homogenous
photothermal destruction of the vein wall, allowing safe closure of
the vein.
• The efficient radiation concept of ELVeS Radial makes optimal
use of the laser energy applied.
• By avoiding perforation of the vein wall and associated thermal
irritation of the surrounding tissue, intra- and post-operative pain
is minimized, as are echymosis and other side-effects.
• A micropuncture kit is used to insert the ELVeS Radial Fiber
directly into the vein in a fast and safe one- step procedure.
Optimal monitoring of the fiber tip is possible thanks to its excellent
ultrasound visibility. With this new technology, extra-long catheters
and guide wires are a thing of the past.
• The ELVeS Radial procedure is performed under ultrasound
guidance and Tumescent Local Anesthesia (TLA). However, some
centres prefer to work without TLA using a sensory femoral nerve
block or a mild sedation with some reported advantages.*
• The ELVeS Radial provides simple and safe control and positioning
of the fiber thanks to the excellent ultrasound visibility of the distal
end of the fiber.
• Atraumatic fiber tip and optimal glide for safe and easy movement
along the vein.
• The ELVeS Radial Fiber is equipped with safety markings for
optimal control of the pullback process.
